Alpine type lake with fair spawning areas in the inlet stream, but most, if not all, of the natural reproduction is lost when the stream dries up in early summer. Has a mixed population of rainbow and eastern brook trout. Abundant growth of yellow water lilies was chemically treated in 1962 to improve fisherman access. Fishing is sporadic, at times fly fishing is good. Fair camp sites, ample firewood, little or no stock feed.

Aspen Meadow Pack Station operates in the Stanislaus National Forest and Emigrant Wilderness under permit from theU.S. Forest Service.
